INTERNATIONAL THREE DAY EVENT RIDER

LEVEL III ICP CERTIFIED INSTRUCTOR

Dannys students have gone on to be national champions, achieved personal goals, been recognized by talent spotters, and invited to participate in developing rider programs. If you would like to be part of a proven successful program we are currently accepting new students.

The 2015 competition season is rapidly approaching and we hope to see you there!

As always, there are stalls available to overnight and take lessons here on the farm, whether it is around one of these shows or anytime that suits your schedule.

Saturday January 24th 2015- Surf Side Beach Texas. A perfect excuse to ride off of the farm and go for a hack on the beach OR it is also a great place to work on pace, rhythm, and your galloping position in the open space. There are miles and miles of beach open to the public to trot, canter and gallop on. A great way to take care of your horse at the end of a workout is to salt water spa their legs in the ocean :) Always a blast had by all riders!

Warrington Eventing will be going to the Pine Hill schooling show next sunday with a group of horses and students! Please let us know if you are interested in lessons on saturday the 6th at the farm before heading to the show or coaching at Pine Hill. Good luck to all riders!

Here are the list of dates that Danny is coming back to TX to teach throughout the time that we are in MD. We plan to return to TX again by October 29th 2014 in time to coach/compete at Pine Hill, TX Rose and Meadow Creek this November 2014.

Dannys traveling lesson price will remain the same price as last year, lessons are $100/rider plus grounds fee. All lessons are scheduled as private lessons and will take place either at Fulshear Equestrian Center or at Pine Hill. Lessons will be reserved when payment is received and on a first come first serve basis. Cancellations~~ a full refund will be made if the spot is filled. Please contact Keli Warrington for availability on all dates and preferred time slots~~ dannywarringtoneventing@gmail.com or 484-459-4974.

*****Also, there has been a large amount of interest this year in students wanting to come up to Maryland for the summer. Whether it is riders interested in sending their horse and then they come back and forth to ride/show OR riders/ horses are coming up to train for the summer. We have a full competition schedule lined up for the summer months, so, if you are interested please let us know! We have spoken with a commercial shipper and they can do a reduced rate when a certain number of horses are on board because the horses would leave from one location and arrive at one location. Again, if you would like more details about the summer schedule and beating the heat of the south to continue training and showing please let us know! :)

THURSDAY APRIL 10TH Danny is available all day for lessons at FEC on the 10th. Friday the 11th, he will be at Pine Hill all day. Danny is available for coaching on the 12th for the horse show.

WINTER 2012 WRAP-UP!

Warrington Eventing is proud to announce that we have returned to Fulshear Equestrian Center in Fulshear, TX for another winter of training and competing! We arrived on October 23rd and plan to leave for home around the first week in April 2013.

Our competition plans for the end of this year include the USEA event at Pine Hill and the TX Rose horse trial in November and then the Pine Hill schooling show the first weekend in December. We hope to see you there!

Danny will be teaching at FEC every day this winter in addition to Pine Hill on November 13th, 27th and December 4th for 2012. Pine Hill 2013 dates were just updated to our online calendar. Danny will also be available for lessons over the Thanksgiving holiday. But as a reminder he will be out of town from December 9th- December 29th. We are able to schedule lessons through Saturday December 8th and then start back up with training for the new show season on Sunday December 30th.

FEC is also extremely pleased to announce that the water, bank and ditch complex are completely finished and ride great! This was a massive project for the farm in 2012 and we are so excited that the facility continues to grow each year as planned. One of this winters projects includes building portable xc fences to be able to place in and around the complex to simulate any type of question that you would see at a horse trial.

If you are interested in lessons at the farm please feel free to contact dannywarrington@comcast.net with any questions or for teaching availability.

SCHEDULED CLINICS IN TEXAS FOR 2012

Warrington Eventing has returned to Maryland for the remainder of the 2012 competition season before heading back to Texas for another winter! After a long drive around the coast, all horses are enjoying the lush MD grass and prepare for Fair Hill horse trials April 20-22.

Danny and Asia are both returning to teach clinics in TX from April till September before our return for another winter in TX November 1st.

MARCH 24/25 2012~~LINDA ZANG is Coming to Fulshear Equestrian Center!!

*****DATE CHANGE*****Linda is teaching at Fulshear Equestrian Center on March 24th and 25th 2012~~ Don't miss this exciting opportunity to ride with an 'O' dressage judge! All Lessons are private lessons, limited to 8 per a day. Auditors are welcome.

Linda Zang of Idlewilde Farm in Davidsonville, Maryland, has represented the United States as a dressage competitor at the 1978 World Championships,the 1979 Pan-American Games and the 1980 Alternate Olympics at Goodwood, England.

She has been an FEI judge since 1985, achieved her “O” status in 1995, and is currently one of only four “O” judges in this country and twenty in the world. “O” judges are qualified to judge various levels of international competition, including World Championships and the Olympics. Linda was one of the dressage judges at the 1996 Olympic Games in Atlanta, the 1998 WEG in Rome and the 2006 WEG in Aachen, Germany. She has judged eight World Cup Finals, including the 2009 finals in Las Vagas and the 1999 Pan American Games in Winnipeg. Additionally, Linda was chairman of the ground jury for the dressage portion of the 2010 World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.

Linda’s accomplishments as a rider as well as a judge led to her induction into the USDF Hall of Fame in 2009. Linda likes to engage her audience while teaching, which makes for a fun and enriching learning experience. She is a huge resource on what judges are looking for and the direction that dressage in the U.S. is heading.

Fulshear Equestrian Center is located at Canaan Ranch on a gorgeous 80-acre farm in rural Fulshear, Texas. It is a 31- stall facility with a large indoor arena and heated viewing room, large outdoor sand arena, large outdoor grass arena, indoor round pen, equicizer machine, paddocks with run-in sheds, irrigation, cross-country course, miles of bridle paths, and ride-out options.

"The facility is absolutely top-notch. The Equestrian Center and the amenities it offers is something you dream about. Fortunately, it has become a reality. It offers everything you can think of in order to make training horses a luxury," Warrington said.

The Fulshear Equestrian Center is an ideal location to escape from the harsh winters in the Mid- Atlantic. It enables the training of the horse to continue without the weather-induced barriers the Mid-Atlantic winters bring. The average temperature of the winters in Fulshear,TX is mid 50's to 60's.

"When building the Equestrian Center, we put a strong focus on the quality of the facility rather than the quantity in order to create a top-of-the line training center, rather than simply a boarding barn. The facilities and amenities that the center offers are extremely conducive to training horses year-round," says Fulshear Equestrian Center owner, Kelly Stanka.

The Equestrian Center is located in close proximity to Houston and San Antonio where schooling jumper shows, combined tests, and dressage shows are readily available.

Danny Warrington will be at Fulshear Equestrian Center full-time from November 1st through April 15th. He will be available for teaching, training, and clinics throughout his extended stay. He will head back to the East Coast in April to compete and train from his home location in Fair Hill, Maryland. However, Warrington will return to Texas once a month from May to November to continue teaching and training with his clients on the Gulf Coast.

"One of the biggest benefits of wintering at the Fulshear Equestrian Center in Texas rather than wintering in the Southeast is you are much more able to focus on the complete training of the horse rather than having to be caught up in the high pressure environment of the Southeast. The focus is entirely on the horses and the students and less on what the other advanced-level trainers are doing next door," says Warrington.

We are coming back to Texas for the winter!! This winter we are very excited to announce that we will be training out of a new facility, Fulshear Equestrian Center, which is literally right down the road from the farm we were at last year. A huge thank you goes to Josh and Kelly Stanka for making this possible!

We are planning on arriving in TX on November 1st and staying through the Pine Hill event mid April 2012 and then returning to Maryland again for the rest of the season. We will leave our barn in MD the last weekend in October to head down to the Chattahoochee Hills event October 28-30. We will lay over there to compete and then head to TX for the second half of the trip.

More information and pictures about Fulshear Equestrian Center to come soon!

2010-2011 Winter Plans

We are going to Texas for the winter!!!! Our plan is to depart after Thanksgiving and return home some time in April. Will Smith, Classico Z, Saratoga, Guiness St. James and a sale project named Monkey, will all be making the journey southwest. Three other horses are tentatively scheduled to join us and are working out trip details.

It is great having friends and clients located throughout the country; this comes in handy when long trips are being planned. 12 hours to GA to stay at Jacel Galloway’s farm and teach a couple lessons while in GA. Then the last 12 hours to Kelly and Josh Stanka’s farm in Fulshear, TX.

Our training program will be based in Fulshear, while teaching lessons on the farm, offering horse sales as well as traveling off the farm for clinics. Danny will also be coming home to MD teach once a month throughout the winter, keep checking the website for the list of weekends.

We are very excited about our new winter plan!!

End of the Season Wrap Up~ 2010

Finishing the season at Waredaca at the end of October marked the close to a successful 2010 competition year.

While 2010 has led to many up's and down's throughout the year with the string of horses, one thing has remained the same.....all of the continual support displayed by our clients, owners, friends, and family. We thank you very much and would not have this caliber of business if it wasnt for all of you! Will Smith will be returning to competition in the summer of 2011 and Classico Z is prepping for his prelim year. Good luck to all of us in 2011!!
